A hint of tart natural yogurt and lemon make this cucumber salad with dill and mint incredibly refreshing. Depending on the thickness, you may need slightly more or less yogurt; the cucumbers should be evenly coated in the creamy dressing. Serve the salad as an appetizer or as a side dish with meat or fish dishes.

Ingredients:

• 0.5 cup natural yogurt
• 1 small clove of garlic, finely grated
• Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 3 small cucumbers, such as Kirby, cut into pieces
• 1 shallot, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, coarsely chopped, plus extra for serving
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped, plus extra for serving
